Hi, you like so many of us don't get heard.. I have also found the first thing Doctors want to tell you is there is nothing wrong, you have a drug problem, but lately friends and family who live closer to the city than I have Been sending me newspaper articles about pain management and the medical community starting to recognize chronic pain. Johns Hopkins is in Baltimore which I am about 65 miles north of but I think they have helped bring it a little more to the for front in the Balto, area.. I also have e-mail letter's to talk shows such as Oprah and Montel trying to get someone in the media to pick up on this growing problem of Adhesions and chronic pain.. No responses from any as of yet ... take care and wishing you pain free moments
